Total Joint Reconstruction/Replacement

In 2010 – the most recent year for which data is available – surgeons in the U.S. performed 719,000 knee replacements and 332,000 hip replacements. With joint replacement procedures becoming increasingly common, it’s important to find a hip or knee replacement surgeon and facility that you can trust. After all, you deserve a procedure that alleviates your pain and gets you back on your feet as soon as possible. Orthopedic surgeons at Davis Hospital and Medical Center specialize in:

Total hip replacement

Total knee replacement

Oxford Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement)

Total shoulder replacement

Reverse total shoulder replacement

Rotator Cuff Repair

Hip Replacement

For many patients, osteoarthritis can cause debilitating pain in the hip. Depending on your pain and activity level, you may consider having a hip replacement. The surgeons at Davis Hospital and Medical Center have performed thousands of these joint replacements. Many of today’s hip replacement procedures are performed using patient-specific implants and minimally invasive techniques that reduce pain, shorten the recovery period, and improve a patient’s outlook.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or less active than you used to be, there’s always a chance of having at least one injury of the ankle, knee, or shoulder. When an injury happens, your physician may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon at Davis Hospital and Medical Center.

Arthroscopy is a type of surgery used to evaluate, diagnose, and treat joint problems. During arthroscopy, the surgeon makes a small incision near the affected joint. An arthroscope (small, pencil-sized tool) is inserted through the incision into the joint. A small lens and magnification/lighting system at the end of the arthroscope transmits images back to a screen in the operating room. This allows the surgeon to examine the joint without making a large incision. Depending on the nature of the injury and procedure, tissues in the joint may even be repaired at this time. Services include:

Knee arthroscopy for torn meniscus and other conditions

Shoulder arthroscopy for damaged rotator cuff or tendinitis

ACL reconstruction – both traditional and all-inside techniques

Multi-ligament knee reconstruction

Stabilization of dislocated patella

Cartilage restoration

Rotator cuff repair

Shoulder decompression and Mumford procedure

Shoulder stabilization procedures
